To see every Muslim confident and impacting the world
Rishi Sunak has called a surprise general election for 4th July - that’s only 40 days away! But this election is going to be about Gaza.
We spoke to Dr. Wajid Akhter and Umer Suleman to discuss The Muslim Vote - a united movement among the UK Muslim community like never before that’s done loads of research into Muslim constituencies, and even held a national town hall where hundreds of Muslims came together from all over the UK to discuss our strategies.

In an unexpected move, on Wednesday Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called a general election for 4 July.
Labour has a possibility of winning, especially as 71% of voters hold a negative view of Sunak, according to YouGov.
But as the Gaza genocide persists, many are urging voters to simply support pro-Palestine candidates.
Who will you vote for?
Hundreds of Muslims gathered from all across the UK for one thing this weekend.

Over 170 media personalities, broadcasters, politicians, activists, and lawyers have come to the defence of the radio presenter and journalist Sangita Myska, after her “abrupt” and unexplained departure from LBC in April.
Myska has in effect been replaced by "dedicated Zionist fanatic" Vanessa Feltz.

Indian voters are engaged in the world's largest ever election, with Hindu supremacist Narendra Modi seeking a third term.
With anti-Muslim hatred on the rise, Indian Muslims are being urged to vote in hope of securing a fairer government.
US Army Major Harrison Mann has quit over "moral injury" caused by his government's inaction on the Gaza genocide.
On resigning, he said, "You're either advancing a policy that enables the mass starvation of children, or you're not."
"They are not students, they are now our teachers.”
Students have been all over the news in the last few weeks. Shaykh Dr. Haitham al-Haddad and other Muslim leaders urged people to support the student encampments in the US when they began and since then student protests have spread like wildfire.
We’ve seen encampments spreading across the UK and Europe, and Muslim students have been speaking with us from the ground.
Shaykh Haitham and Dr. Salman Butt discuss some of their most frequently asked questions and issues, particularly from an Islamic moral perspective.

Though the adage “The apple never falls far from the tree” is ominously significant in this context, it fails to capture the rot setting into the apple, as Netanyahu drives the Zionist project to its ethical and political demise.
Netanyahu isn’t merely an apple under the fascist tree which designed the Nakba — he is its historical continuum, now rotting in its shadows.

Cambridge University's richest college is divesting from all weapons firms including Elbit Systems.
It was previously revealed that Trinity had invested £61,735 at the notorious Israeli firm.
The Gaza genocide has revealed many cracks in the current world order.
While many people are entering into Islam in droves, there is something beyond the personal spiritual, intellectual and moral void that needs filling.
Something wider. Something GLOBAL.

Given the level of betrayal and indifference of some Arab and Muslim regimes, you may ask why I am wasting my time talking about military intervention by the official armies of these countries.
The so-called Israel Defense Forces is behind this ongoing genocide, but who makes up the real Zionist Defence Force?

“I felt like I had entered Hell, since before and after your own beatings you would only hear the screams of the other prisoners being tortured, day and night.”
In this fourth instalment of A Boy Named Justice — an Islam21c-CAGE International project, authored by Zimarina Sarwar — we rejoin Shaykh Adel Abdul Bary whilst on the run from Egyptian state security on the orders of Anwar Sadat.
Why was he on the run? He had become prominent among his community for a fearless approach to Islamic education while speaking against state repression and corruption.
In the eyes of the government, he had to be stopped. His time was up.

In a welcome, albeit considerably belated, development, three European states have confirmed their intention to formally recognise the State of Palestine on 28 May.
While mere recognition of the Palestinian state is a pitifully low moral bar, it is nonetheless welcome news whenever more and more states defy the racist dehumanisation of Palestinians.

Ireland, Norway, and Spain have confirmed they will recognise Palestine as an independent state on Tuesday 28th May.
It is a welcome step to level the narratives' playing field between Palestine and the Zionist state, but why only now?
Reports have emerged that Al-powered bots are being deployed amidst the Gaza genocide to push pro-Israeli narratives online.
These bots swarm social media, creating comments that seem human but are actually Al-generated.
Zionists are having an absolute meltdown because the prosecutor at the international criminal court has finally sought arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu.
In this week's Islamic Thoughts episode, Dr Salman Butt and Dr Anas Altikriti share some thoughts.

The chief prosecutor of the ICC (International Criminal Court) has asked a panel of judges to issue arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and his defence minister for war crimes and crimes against humanity for the genocide in Gaza, alongside three Palestinian resistance leaders.
What are your thoughts?
In condemning American "unqualified support" of the Zionist state, Major Harrison Mann's resignation has left Washington red-faced.

“Israel must be stopped”, is what an emergency hearing today at the World Court heard, arguing for emergency provisional measures to be put in place.
The Zionist entity has ignored and refused explicit and implicit rulings from the court, and is planning on completing its genocide with its offensive on Rafah, in Gaza.

“We would be together and hear the cries of the one being taken for interrogation. When he returned, we knew what to say to him, how to comfort and treat him. Because yesterday it was us, and tomorrow it will be another.”
In this fifth instalment of A Boy Named Justice — a special Islam21c-CAGE International project, written by our regular contributor Zimarina Sarwar — we look at the incredibly painful periods of detention faced by Shaykh Adel Abdul Bary.
And we hear about his experience working as a human rights lawyer at Amnesty International in New York, his trip to Britain, making Hajj, and a visit to Pakistan.

“These are my grandparents. They were raised in Lubya, a village in Palestine on a tall hill near Tiberias, with a view of the lake and the Golan Heights.”
“In 1948, they were driven from their home by Israeli forces and spent the rest of their lives in exile. Their village was emptied, and their home was demolished.”
Omar Alkhatib writes a powerful reminder of how real stories are the backbone of genuine narratives.

Today, we stand with our brothers and sisters in marking the 76th year of Nakba, the Palestinian Catastrophe.
Since the late 40s, the situation has only worsened. In October 2023, another Nakba began, one arguably worse than the last.
Today marks the Nakba, the "Catastrophe" in Arabic, referring to the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their homes in 1948, orchestrated by Zionist forces.
Supported by the major powers of the world, Zionist gangs attacked Palestinian cities, destroying some 530 villages, killing over 13,000 and displacing over 700,000, around two-thirds of the whole population.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping has visited Europe this week, with many citing the visit as a frantic attempt to iron out ongoing economic disputes between the EU and China.
But we will not let this distract from the ongoing Uyghur genocide, in which millions have been put into concentration camps, forcibly sterilised, had foetuses aborted, wombs removed, raped, or killed.

Ireland's oldest university is cutting ties with all Israeli businesses after a successful five-day student protest.
The decision will hit firms that operate shamelessly in occupied Palestine and those on the UN blacklist.
Almost 2,000 vulnerable children have been abandoned by the Home office, after a technical flaw led to cases being removed.
According to data, many of these young people may have been trafficked or victims of modern slavery.
